The 90s would see the rise of what would be coined “plus size” models. One of the models to push the boundaries and emerge at the head of the pack was Wendy Brooks. A Toronto based beauty of Jamaican heritage.

We discussed the early days of her career, details about the business that aspiring models should definitely pay attention to and her new business ventures in the Caribbean.
